_Serpula_ Linn. _Vermicularus De Montf. Vermet_ Adanson. The animal of
the Serpulæ, it may be added further, does not differ, according to
Cuvier, from those of the Linnæan Genus Turbo, and consequently not
from Scalaria of Lamarck and Cuvier, as must be concluded from their
admission of Turbo Clathratus among the number of its species, in an
arrangement founded on the organization of the animal, as well as its
testaceous habitation. Cuvier himself observes that the animal of the
Vermet, and also the opening (of the shell) resemble those of the
Turbo, but that the whorls do not touch, and are in part irregularly
curved like the tubes of the Serpulas.—_Règne Animal T. 2. 419._ And
his classification further shews the analogy of these tribes of
shells, since the animal of the Linnæan _Turbo_, the _Vermets_ of
Adanson, and _Scalaria_ of Lamarck, are all of the same family, the
_Gastéropodas Pectinibranches_ of Cuvier.
